The play is written by Christopher Hampton, from the novel by Choderlos de Laclos. The play charts the seduction of the young and willing Cecile and the demure yet passionate Mme de Tourvel by Le Vicomte de Valmont, a cynical pleasure-seeker. His seductive enterprises are encouraged by his former mistress, a lady with an ulterior motive. Set in France among aristocrats before the revolution, this is a play for all times about sexual manners and manipulation. The film, Dangerous Liaisons, won an Oscar.
